Description
Using the latest vscode engine in the generated extension means that the extension (silently) wont' run on any non-latest vscode builds. This can cause a lot of frustration during development, and possibly trying to distribute? Right now it uses v100 which came out 3 days ago, and I'm on 1.99.3, it took me 20 minutes to figure out why my extension just wasn't loading. If it used an older version it would just work for everyone, right?
